Waves Quotes
-
First, there are good people out there; they just don’t make so much of a racket. Second, if you don’t make waves, then the bad guys don’t get washed overboard. And third, nobody bothers to bad-mouth you unless they’re afraid of you. So think of it as kind of a compliment.

Einstein had two new predictions from general relativity. One was that light would bend. That was tested in 1919, and basically, he was proven right.

Poets are always making waves.
